Three

Three years ago on January 30 was when I nervously hit the publish button and started this blogging adventure and an adventure it has been. It started as just a creative outlet and still is, but has become so much more. I never knew I would make so many virtual friends and also some real live friends that I have been so lucky to meet. When I first started Mr. Savvy said you don't know who is really on the other end. Well, now he knows y'all really are real and he has had the pleasure of meeting one of my friends and I am sure he will meet more in the future.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for following along with me on this journey.

This is one of the photos from my very first post and boy has my home gone through some changes thanks to all the inspiration from your blogs. This chest now resides next to my bed in the master bedroom. That mirror was sold and I still have most of the items on top being stored in my hoarding room. If you missed my first post check it out here.

Right after I started blogging we got the call that our second granddaughter had been born and we made the trip to Nashville to see this little bundle.

Kimmie, I'm so glad you hit the publish button because I have enjoyed every post since! Happy Birthday to little Naomi (that was my best's friends name in school). I feel I know you so well, I call you Kimmie! :)Be a sweetie,Shelia ;)

Aww Kim, happy anniversary! Three years goes by fast, doesn't it? You have an amazing blog and I continue to be inspired by every post. Have a great weekend, and happy birthday to that beautiful little girl!

What a beautiful grandbaby :) Congratulations on three years blogging and the quality you always put forth. I've only been blogging 7 months now and I can already see my house beginning to change as I see what others have done and begin to experiment! I was just wondering last night if I'll have anything left to blog about once my house is all done! Thank you for sharing your life and inspiration with all of us, your readers. Many blessings to you, Patti@OldThingsNew

Happy 3 to you and your granddaughter!!! I am so glad I met you out here in this big blog world Kim. Love your blog and projects and that gorgeous chest of drawers of yours is one of my favorite pieces that you have! :)

Happy Blog Anniversary Kim! I am so glad you hit that post button! It has been wonderful meeting you and your hubby in person (twice!). I enjoy seeing your creations, changes, vignettes etc. It is always a pleasure to visit you blog. Hope we can get together sometime this year. Are you heading Asheville way?Hugs,Penny

Happy Blogiversary Kim!! Yours was one of the very first blogs I ever started following and it remains one of my favorites still. It was such a treat getting to meet you at Haven last year and I hope to get to see you again! :-)Vanessa

Congratulations dear friend. Yours was the first blog I ever read. You made it look so easy. Well, boy have I learned what work going into making it look so easy. Look at what you have accomplished!! So proud of you, and I think your readership has gone exponentially this last year. Here's to many more years, lifting my glass to you, it's a smoothie and not champagne, hope that's okay.

Your blog is one of my favorites because you have so many beautiful projects and many fit in my color scheme.

I just had my 1 year anniversary and like you, I had no idea where it would take me. It has been such a fun ride. I have only met one blog friend and that is because she has a booth at my favorite local antique store. But, I have gotten ideas and inspiration from so many people. It is such a fun journey.

Kim, congratulations on three years. I clicked back to your first one and really love that chest. I have a similar one in my dining room and have been wanting to re-paint. This gives me some ideas. I am coming up on my one year and so glad that I started this journey.Your little granddaughter is precious and Happy Birthday to her..Happy Weekend..Judy

What fun adventures life can present!! I am sure many more paths will open up on this journey. Congratulations and how pleased you must be to watch your family grow as well as your fabulous blog!!Missy M

Congrats on three years Kim! Even though I haven't been with you the whole time I sure am committed to the inspiration from now on. Your one of the nicest woman I've never met! Congrats and here's to many more!

Happy Anniversary - 3 years and so many followers! Wow, as a newbie blogger who only has 28 followers I can't imagine being where you are in 3 years - amazing! Love your blog and I'm now one of the thousands following you :-)

Kim, When I first found your blog in September 2012, I called my husband to the computer to gawk at your "home tour" page. There were so many ideas, OF COURSE I had to keep coming back. I was a little intimidated by the caliber of decorating you exhibited, but I thought I'd link up to your party and give it a shot. Subsequently, I connected with other friends through WUW, and I've added so much inspiration to my home. So, thank you.

Happy Anniversary! Always love stopping by to visit here, as I know there will be tons of inspiration. Love the last picture of your granddaughter. Eyes full of wonder! Look forward to another 3 years and beyond from your lovely blog!

Boy how time flies! Congrats on three years Kim. I for one and am glad you hit that button and started into the world of blogging. You have been such an inspiration to me thru the years. Your blog has grown by leaps and bounds and I am so truly happy for you! I always enjoy visiting and our little chats we have. Maybe one day we will actually get to meet when I am in town.

Oh...I love this post!!...Wow!..three years...I am sure for you this saying of "time flies when you are having fun" is so true for you...and Happy Birthday Naomi...such a cutie !!!...I too am blessed to have gained so many friends, both virtual and "real"...and I am blessed to have come to know you as a great friend!....and to know Miss Bailey and Mr. Savvy have been wonderful...they are certainly "real"...Here's to many, many more year of your great inspirations!

Happy Birthday! To your beautiful granddaughter and to your blog! So fun to see some pics from the early days - I love the journal we create with out blogs - so fun to go back and see where we've been. And the very best part is the friends met and made along the way.

Congratulations on celebrating your third blogging anniversary. You know, so many folks start out with great enthusiasm but within a few months they just peter off and their blogs die from neglect, but it seems they don't just disappear from the ether, they are sort of out there forever and ever. Rather disturbing, actually... Your blog has been an inspiration to me since I found it, maybe a year ago (?) I ooooh and aaaaah over your house and wonder what it would be like to live in such a place; and then I look around at my own joint and think to myself "it's not so bad, woman, get over it!" LOL! The gift that you and other bloggers of ongoing D-I-Y/design/decorating blogs have given me is the courage to try different things out around here and that it's okay to have an epic fail :) Epic fails can be fixed, regrets for never having even tried to get things together precisely the way you want -- well, those regrets can't be fixed. So, thank you very much for the inspiration, and I hope you are around at least another 30 years or so, because I intend to live at least that long and expect you to do so too, so I can read you every day.
